Words matter, especially when you are the so called leader of the free world. It is not the responsibility of the media to make sure every interpretation of meaning and context is as close as possible to the intention (which is unknown anyway) to shield a public representative from himself.

Or as Steve Jobs put it: "Somewhere between the janitor and the CEO, reasons stop mattering."

A good spin has at least one verifiable element and the rest is vague enough to not be accountable, but still gets the message out.
let's let the proprietary connector play out, and lets say all the other automakers wither and die due to their shortsightedness to help deploy charging stations. Now we're down to only the single Tesla connector out there for charging in the wild, and effectively only Tesla cars. Is this a good thing for innovation? Do you think this will increase or decrease innovation? And all because they were first to market with a proprietary connector they heavily pushed. Effectively, if you want to buy a car with the ability to charge in the wild you will be forced to buy a Tesla due to a monopoly of charging stations. Sounds like a good future filled with innovation to me!

Lets also look at it the other way in a theoretical to analyze the idea of widespread proprietary connectors and their connection to innovation. Say Nissan had a proprietary connector and made the big investment to deploy a massive charging network. The Nissan cars are technically vastly inferior to the Tesla cars, but because Nissan made a well-timed capex they've got a leg up on the chargers. People then tend to buy the inferior Nissan cars because of the brand presence and vast availability of chargers. While the Tesla cars are technically better, all of those owners already have proprietary Nissan connectors at home. Their offices have Nissan chargers. Their grocery store has Nissan chargers. The highway rest stops have Nissan chargers. Truck stops have Nissan chargers. Do you think the technically better Tesla wins? Imagine when new construction of houses starts to have vehicle charging connections common. If your house came with a Nissan charger and it'll cost you $500 to swap it out for a Tesla one, doesn't that raise the price of the Tesla $500 simply because of the cable in your home? Sounds terrible to me.
My local school district employs 14-year olds to vacuum the floor after school each day. You really think that has no value for anyone involved? I know one of the kids and they are sad that they will lose that job if Biden’s minimum wage is passed.
I think it is the same for adults and I think news sites are also up there with social media. Just a constant barrage of NEGATIVE THING HAPPENED!!! that you have no control of and can't do anything about.
they got a sugar high with clubhouse and now they think they can scale their medium investor scam media up.

probably also motivated by /r/wsb latest forays.
Facebook groups is one of the shining features that brings people to the platform. While I also prefer the PHPBB days of old, FB groups are indeed interest based places that foster communities.
On the other hand, 'Social media damages teenagers mental health' sounds a lot like puritan arguments against rock music, weed, and video games from decades past. All of those things had legit studies done on them that showed harm, too. Honestly I think the kids are gonna be alright.
> avoid supporting any political parties

Unions represent their workers and by extension must advocate politically for workers' rights.

How can a union fight for workers' rights if they're barred from political activity?

If companies can engage in political activity, it follows that workers' unions are just as entitled.
True, and accessibility is why the long tail of peripherals is so important.

For the home-row supremacists, it would be great to have an ortholinear split-key which has a ThinkPad-style nub, although we could spill a lot of ink about where to put it: in between u-i-j-k would suit me best, other people might want y-u-h-j for the index rather than middle finger— and of course, the left-handed equivalent for those who prefer it, I happen to be left-handed but mouse with my right and wouldn't care to switch.

There's room in the Ergodox layout for one more thumb key, between the grid and the thumb cluster, it would require expanding the classic chassis but that's a small thing. The driver, the custom keys, and an appropriately sensitive joystick, these are not small things! I think one could drill through a corner of four of the switches, to make enough room, without touching the electronics, and mmmmaybe mold a custom housing which is missing a corner, simply rotating appropriately. Making room for the traces and such is completely above my paygrade.

But if Ergodox costs $350 to get to the user, this keyboard would probably end up costing $500 on a good day. It would be a glorious thing, but I wonder about the market for it.
I've had more time to think about this now -- it would appear that directional prediction can be arbitraged away in a world where the future cannot be known. In general, however, through research, one can begin to divine a glimmer (or more) of the future direction of the underlying.

In that situation, someone with a reasonable guess at the future could absolutely murder uninformed arbitrageurs, right? It is my expectation that "correct" pricing of the options should fold in information about both the expected volatility and the direction of the underlying.
So what's a microservice catalog?
Hi! I'm Joey Parsons, the founder and CEO of effx, just sharing our thoughts on what a microservice catalog is and ultimately, the traits that make them great.

If anything's missing, would love your thoughts!
PostgreSQL is explicitly NOT GPL (it's basically a very permissive BSD / MIT style license). More here: https://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/

See section and links for "Why not the GNU General Public License?"

It's not GPL for some of the same reasons described here and enterprise does like it.
How so, though? Those platforms' market dominantion is a reflection of the fact that they have _devices_; Mozilla, as far as I know, don't have devices and jailbreaking is off the table for the majority of device users.
In the US, we collectively decided (via elected representatives) that this is important to us, and we passed the ADA to enforce it. Visually impaired people have as much right to use stuff as you and I do, and the law says so.

From a purely economic point of view: if your competitor's website supports the visually impaired, and yours does not, then even though that's a relatively small market segment you're probably giving away 100% of it. And blind people have friends and family too, and they'll also send all of those people to your competitor.
Oh please. All engineers are arrogant, usually, proportionally to their skills.

That does not mean that they do not understand team work or other engineers being different from them and it does not mean they can't sit down and coach other engineers. They do, but when the other engineers are too lazy to improve themselves, the manager values quantity over quality anyway, what can they do?

In many situations, a mix of arrogance and self-confidence it's the only defense a skilled engineer has against the mass of unqualified idiots steering a project the wrong way.

Passing up brilliant people at this level does not solve the problem: they are brilliant enough to become competition.

It's precisely about the cowardice of accepting that there are insanely bright and skilled professionals, right in your team or in your company and one way or another you have to deal with them, or they will deal with you.

What's new here is that the sales pitch about shorts needing to be covered has more truth to it (I think, not an expert) than the usual vague promises about a huge turnaround being right around the corner. Usually the argument that other buyers will follow you is based purely on their supposed FOMO
Some people are used to using javascript packages (so importing a whole framework when they are only using a small portion of the functionality) to help with UI like collapsing/expanding menus depending on the screen width. You can do a lot of those things with pure CSS now, but that's a more recent thing and a lot of popular tutorials are still JS + CSS.
> care to give ideas why it's not a positive change?

What I wrote above: it's going to encourages 10x more bloated and obfuscated websites.

Apart from the security and privacy issues, it will make the web even less accessible to users with slower Internet connections (some 2bln people) and visually-impaired users.
While that's true, if you attempted to generally reduce propensity to spend in the US economy you would see very, very bad economic effects.

It's the paradox of thrift.

To note, it has been economic policy to not have Americans save up.
You can self-host GitHub as well if I remember if you pay for the licenses. Gitlab does have an open source free version but without all the features.
If it makes you feel any better, I have the Kensington with four buttons. I never use the extra two for anything - probably because, like most people in the comments, I'm trying to stay away from the mouse. Two buttons is plenty!
Yes, there are a lot of tools. None are great and are mostly for compliance.

Products like Siteimprove are targeted at Enterprise (e.g. demos with sales weasels, unpublished pricing, etc). They mostly suck but check an auditing and compliance box.
Suggested improvement: To be eligible for government electric car subsidies the car maker should meet certain standards for their chargers and charging stations that enable interoperability and a more competitive market.
Wait, parents shouldn’t subsidize their kids?! As soon as my kid can get a part-time job as a teenager I should totally cut them off? That does sound tempting...
I have a Fractal case and do like the look of it, I just wish there were more companies selling premium larger cases because I dislike some of the plastic parts.

If the thing is going to have to sit in my office/bedroom I don't mind paying up to $1K for something nice looking, grown up and with premium metal finish.

Premium case market is entirely very small cases like the Louqe Ghost.
I am a long time user and this works like charm.
Instead it should issue a ticket which allows one to use your WiFi for a limited time.
While the gist of your argument is technically correct you are missing one important factor, amplification wether through solid state transistor or analog tubes, causes distortion. With 44.1 kHz all sine waves above 22 kHz cannot be reproduced which makes for some pretty unpleasant distortion harmonics if those wave forms are being fed through the wire without a filter on the output signal.
> Anything that I haven't kept practicing is almost gone.

I think that's true of any method of learning. I once took a class on a proprietary audio visual language, and a year of so later my manager asked me to write some control software using that language, and I basically had to start from scratch.

On the other hand, I took Stanford's first MOOC Swift Class, and have been using Swift as my primary language ever since.
I contend that the real tragedy of American politics is that what ought to be class/labor issues gets sidetracked into race issues. If poor whites would stop thinking in terms of race and instead think in terms of class and economic justice then real progress could be made. Lyndon Johnson had a famous quote about just this.

The Elasticsearch SPPL is going to be pretty incompatible with many or most contributors business models and personal needs. The question is will the community harmonize around 1-2 forks or will the there not be enough critical mass in a fork to keep things going.
I'm fine with them not having that incentive.

Scams can be uncovered by CUSTOMERS and plenty of other people than short sellers, and I don't think overvalued equities is actually a problem. Many times overvalued equities leads to faster adoption of EVs and solar and better GPUs and other nice things, which are more important to my personal life than maintaining the sanctity of capitalism.
For those that didn't quite understand this (like me ..):

The person in question posted large amounts of images like this

- fraudulently said it was paid for by the campaign to elect the candidate

- specifically targeted people of colour that supported a non-conservative candidate

- told those people that they could text a number to vote instead of vote (which is not valid), and to avoid voting in person afterward

- therefore resulting in several thousand votes probably not being counted since they never voted, based on carrier logs
This is a pretty neat idea, but it seems insanely expensive for the network operator. Not only would having a large inventory of spare batteries be very capital intensive, but the swapping stations themselves look complex and expensive too. I wonder if Nio even has the capital required to do this at a large enough scale.
Pitchroom – Your unified data room solution
A more boring conversation about this is how will it actually impact Gamestop? Could the new price levels become a self fulfilling prophecy, with Gamestop being able to raise enough capital to revamp the business?

"Irrational" retail investors have perhaps saved a company before - Tesla - by holding onto the stock even when every hedge fund was saying it's doomed.
I was addicted to Twitter in high school. I spent hours on it at night, getting no sleep. I spent so much time and mental bandwidth thinking of funny things to say or memes to make to get more likes. I was addicted to the likes and keeping up with everyone I knew.

First semester of college, I stopped using Twitter. My sleep got better, I had more free time, and I was noticeably happier and freer. I no longer spent time in that dopamine cycle.

I've been weening off of Reddit and HN the past few months as well. YouTube is my next beast to conquer, and that might be the biggest one for me right now. I'm trying to adapt to longer form content again, instead of only watching videos under a minute or reading 280 character tweets. I want to have an attention span again, I really do.

Is social media an inherently evil thing? I don't think so, but I don't think I should use it. I also think that it can be toxic for teenagers in general. There are a variety of reasons, but the one that applied to me was the dopamine cycle caused by "likes".
Currently a starter tier user with more than 25 users, and I don't know how I feel.

We had been mulling an upgrade to premium, but the price jump is a tough sell for us. This kind of leaves us in an predicament. Will have to see what GitLab can offer us as per their blog post.
Yes but it's pretty easily bypassed

The world biggest charging ikea?? How can anyone hate them. Unless they just do it for tax purposes.
Have the same feelings about HTML/CSS and even similar towards JS.
I believe that if one gets a grasp of it, then CSS is extremely easy now, compared to like 5-6 years ago, where on top of CSS itself, you had to be good with all the quirks for IE and other browsers.

If today someone tells that CSS is hard, I honestly get stunned. I wonder if the idea of "everyone can code" might be root cause of current state. I mean - if after some time you cannot get intermediate CSS skills, then I'd say that web programming (and maybe any other) is not for you.

It was with the boom of Tailwind CSS when I started to see a lot of comments like "OMG this framework is great - CSS was always hard for me, now I can do much more".
I worked at a company that only used Gitlab's free tier for production deployments.

But instead of actually paying for their service to resolve various limitations we ran into, my manager decided he "had a bad experience with Gitlab" and so we switched providers.

I honestly don't know what people are thinking using a free tier for some service provider to run their company.
You can also self-host Github Enterprise I believe.
I don't think it's reasonable to compare the scales of the impact of social media and drugs, simply because far more people engage in one over the other.
Sorry, I meant American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). We got sued under the ADA by the AAPD.
> It sounds like they are making up excuses for not wanting to fully Open Source their code; which is fine. But don't blame upstream for your reluctance or inability to adhere to this.

They are changing the license on ALL of their source code. How is this making up excuses?

Second, I know plenty of companies where MySQL or Wordpress are not allowed to be used because they are GPL.

PostgreSQL is NOT GPL and thus is allowed.
The problem with totally unplugging is that you effectively put your head in the sand. You're less informed about what is going on around you. Sure you can read books, but you're increasing your risk of exposure to bias or falsehoods when you limit your selection like that. We may be getting pummeled with "fake news" right now, but at least we have the ability to discuss the matter and see more than one side.

The early 20th century may have seemed hunky-dory to a lot of people, but there was a lot of bad stuff going on that just never had the chance to see the light of day. I don't want to go back to that.

Take it to a further extreme, the Amish. I'm sure many of them think life is great out there on the farm. But they aren't going to be much help for solving problems on a national or global scale. Heck even their votes (do they vote?) are probably based on some community consensus or shared local interest. As you narrow your gaze you limit your ability to participate in the world.
The Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company
Sure, you're free to choose your employer however you wish, and there are plenty of tech companies whose executives didn't vote for Trump.

But you may find that many executives — including those who did not vote for Trump — are not interested in hiring people who believe they are entitled to know how their colleagues/bosses voted.
Definitely a good point, but I have trouble believing that that's all there is to it. Having a soul / the afterlife seems to span most of human history and religions and it isn't always tied to morals. Humans seem to spontaneously come up with the idea on their own so I would lean towards something more innate in how the mind works.
I grew up in a suburb and pretty isolated intellectual vacuum where it was hard to learn anything.

I got internet access I could use regularly when I was around 12.

Things were less developed then ~2002 and I didn't have FB until 2007 so maybe it's not directly comparable to the modern web, but the information access was amazing.

There was so much available to read and learn and most importantly, it helped with unknown unknowns.

When you're isolated like that and you don't live in a community of people that can introduce you to new things it's really hard to find where to even look on the map of interesting ideas. You don't know what exists. I wouldn't have been able to learn about computers, wouldn't have eventually been able to come out to the bay area as early as I did. I think people don't realize how the internet frees people that don't otherwise have a personal connection to someone who knows things.

My case isn't even that exceptional (my dad is an MD and smart, he was just the first in his family to really succeed so didn't know how to navigate a lot of the social class stuff) - someone who truly grew up in poverty would have even less access to things via their personal network.

At least for me, there is way more good with the web than bad.

The web and internet access may drive most of humanity to tribal motivated reasoning and echo chambers, but for others it leads to better critical thinking, learning new ideas and arguments and changing your mind/becoming a better thinker.

The upside potential is still there and huge - it's easier to learn than ever.

It just didn't fix the fact that the average person is not well suited to take advantage of it.
GitHub Enterprise is designed for self-hosting.

> anything that I haven't kept practicing is almost gone. I can't even remember most of the courses or books I've read.

I don’t think this is unique to MOOCs. I think this is a fact of life.
The Inside Story of How the Lowly PDF Played the Longest Game in Tech
Compare/contrast to my former email provider. They gave 1 month notice to some people before almost doubling prices, and others apparently didn’t get any notice at all. Left them for a more expensive service— large and sudden price increases send a message of instability and bait and switch dynamics whether or not it’s actually the case. Gitlab, on the other hand is using a phase in approach. It gives customers time to adjust and prepare. Whereas they could have just hiked prices and exploited customers who didn’t have time to react. Of course you get pricing wrong sometimes (I guess even by 2-5x). But really you have to be careful with how you raise prices. Personally I’d rather have happy customers, although captive ones pay the same.
> are primarily driven by algorithmic discovery.

The news feed is certainly driven by algorithmic discovery.

But the standard user page, or user account, for any of these, is usually not.

So, for example, a reasonable compromise would to apply common carrier laws to the places where it is possible. IE, allow people to have the user page.

> It would be functionallly undiscoverable

Disagree. There is still value in having that youtube user page for someone with existing audiences, even if they do not have youtube discovery.

Furthermore, even if youtube refuses to do discovery for these pages, it would still be possible for 3rd parties to do discovery. Imagine if you could subscribe to a different discovery website that just takes information from youtube pages.

That would be interesting to drive competition in discovery algorithms and give people choice over that.

An app that helps the patient and doctors communicate would be a good addition to this service.
Something with:
1) Data entry
2) Concurrent records for all the different medical professionals
3) Visual diagrams for patient communication (ie. imaging, reports)
4) medical history
5) On the professional side it would provide easy access to notes about the patient
I know you have been on the site a little longer than I have, but I have always assumed we where of around the same genesis of digital nomads that arrived here in the second wave. Which leads me to have made some assumptions about over the years when I read your post. If they are correct, then we hold the many of the same liberal views, the next wave of HN'ers see the world very different from what the majority on the site did in the second wave of newcomers. It's not the same liberalism and I completely understand what you are saying about your friends on the left thinking the same thing. People on the right think I am a hippy people on the left think I am ready to start goose stepping and I just want everyone to be happy and live in peace, without the government mandating it.
Plea for future article writers: It won't kill you to hyperlink the first occurrence of acronyms (especially titular ones) in the block text. Those ten seconds will not only save hundreds of readers time (even if they only mouse over the link to see the expansion in the Wikipedia page title). It will also prevent readers opening your article, seeing the same unexplained acronym mentioned every second sentence and deciding that a google search with an unknown amount of "figuring out which of all the results matches the article context" is not worth their time.
